What made me even happier was that this collection provides me with a rationale for keeping in effect
for you the 60% off NANETTE! codeword sale that I put into effect on Friday. As I expected, our first
60% off sale in over six months blew the doors off of
our website.
Traffic was so great that
our website
servers actually crashed a couple of times over the weekend, as we had too many fans simultaneously accessing
our inventory listings.
Blessedly, we were able to keep these service interruptions to very short durations,
so our overall sales absolutely rocked!

So you know, my original plan was to close down the 60% off sale tomorrow, as five days at 60% off is
typically all the sales volume that we can sustain without harming the underlying diversity of our inventory.
As I have stated repeatedly over the past few months, expanding that diversity of comics that we can offer you on
our website
is my #1 priority, and sales like this one actually work contrary to that goal. When my wife, Nanette, asks me
to put a sale in effect, however, I always acquiesce to her request, as I love her very much. Giving away even
our best comics at 60% off, however, is something that I would truly prefer not to do.

All of the above having been said, yesterday's acquisition of 20,000 more choice
back issues
guarantees that we will continue to able to offer you a greater diversity of comics in the future than what we
could in the past, even with the sale in effect. That allays my concerns, and allows me the latitude to keep the
60% off NANETTE! codeword in effect for you through this upcoming weekend. If you have been looking to build your
collection through
our website
at minimum cost to you, now is definitely the time for you to pace an order.

Some notes before I go. First, the orders we already have in the pipeline are going to take us a week to fill.
If you cannot wait at least a week for your order to ship, please do not order. Second, we are still operating
with one phone line, four months after moving into
Jason St.
Trying to call us is almost impossible, as we have
our four lines from 56th all trying to roll into one. If you have a question, e-mail us at
back_issue@milehighcomics.com,
and we'll get back to you as quickly as we can. Please bear in mind that everyone in Denver will be hustling to
fill these 60% off orders, so please keep correspondence to a minimum right now. I have been in contact with the
management at CenturyLink, and they have assured me that all of our phone lines will finally be operational again
by the end of this week. Fingers crossed.

Finally, I want everyone to know that I am seeking to purchase another 15-20 major collections over the next six
months. This is because I have an upcoming obligation that will require that I cut back on my traveling for
Mile High Comics
for a year, starting next April. Between now and next April, however, I will be making short weekly trips all
around the country to look at substantial collections. If you have a large number of comics that you wish to sell,
please contact my assistant, Will Moulton, at moulton@milehighcomics.com. Please be aware, however, that Will's
first question to you will be as regards how much you are seeking for your collection. If you are not able to give
him some sort of rough idea of what you are seeking for your comics, the conversation cannot continue. Once we have
a general idea that we are on the same page as to the relative wholesale value of your collection, however, we can
then move on to scheduling a visit by me to your home.
